New Tab Menu Customization #13763

FWest98 · 2022-08-17T01:59:28Z

Implements an initial version of #1571 as it has been specified, the
only big thing missing now is the possibility to add actions, which
depends on #6899.

Further upcoming spec tracked in #12584

Implemented according to instructions by @zadjii-msft. Mostly
relatively straightforward, but some notable details:

In accordance with the spec, the counting/indexing of profiles is
based on their index in the json (so the index of the profile, not of
the entry in the menu).
Resolving a profile name to an actual profile is done in a similar
fashion as how currently the DefaultProfile field is populated: the
CascadiaSettings constructor now has an extra _resolve function
that will iterate over all entries and resolve the names to instances;
this same function will compute all profile sets (the set of all
profiles from source "x", and the set of all remaining profiles)
~~Fun~~ fact: I spent two whole afternoons and evenings trying to add 2
classes (which turned out to be a trivial .vcxproj error), and then
managed to finish the entire rest of it in another afternoon and
evening...

Validation Steps Performed

A lot of manual testing; as mentioned above I was not able to run any
tests so I could not add them for now. However, the logic is not too
tricky so it should be relatively safe.

Closes #1571

Added better rendering logic in TerminalPage Better JSON parsing with inheritance And fixed the tricky vcxproj definition....

Add ProfilesSourceEntry to select all profiles from a given source

FWest98 · 2022-08-17T02:25:04Z

On second thought, I only saw #12584 after I implemented my barebones ProfilesSourceEntry. I guess you prefer not to be stuck to this temporary API forever, so maybe it's better to remove that part for now.
Or, if #12584 is finished, it should only take me a few hours to implement it as it stands now, so then we would have a more complete MR here.

Please let me know what you think is best!

zadjii-msft · 2022-08-17T14:24:20Z

Thoughts from the dome: I'm fucking jazzed to see this implemented. Definitely one of the biggest feature requests we've had, and I can't wait to see it land.

That being said - we're kinda putting the final wraps on 1.16 at the moment. This PR might take a little while to get merged while we focus on locking 1.16 down. Thanks for bearing with us!

I couldn't help myself and went ahead and reviewed (most of) it haha. Great work! I just have to review the serialization and TerminalApp changes, but so far it's been really straightforward.

Some feedback:

all the stuff in that .github text file should go into .github/actions/spelling/expect/expect.txt
you should be able to revert the dep/wil change (I think)
honestly, just combine all of the smaller NewTabMenuEntry stuff into the same NewTabMenuEntry files. They're all small enough and like one-liners. Maybe even create a macro like DEFINE_NEW_TAB_MENU_ENTRY that implements the ToJson/FromJson for you.

I'm not through CascadiaSettingsSerialization.cpp quite yet, but figured I'd give feedback sooner than later.

Definitely revert the wil change. We moved that dependency to nuget recently.
I'd revert the ProfileSource change for now, or break into a separate PR, just so we can definitely merge this ASAP and start kicking the tires.
We'll bump Spec for "matching" profiles in "New Tab Customization" #12584 up in discussion priority
Meh, spelling nits.

Most of the code so far I'm super cool with. I'm VERY excited to get this merged here at the start of 1.17 ☺️

Incorporated all your feedback! If there's one reason to upgrade my PC, it would be this project... Easily takes 15-20min for a build after a change in .idl files.

I indeed removed the source item for now, it's easy to get it back by reverting bc628f6 and adapting it later. Hopefully it's nearly done now!

Appease the spellbot, hopefully

zadjii-msft · 2022-12-06T19:25:32Z

The semantics of having a matchProfiles entry with multiple parameters set is not defined in the spec. As a consequence of the implementation, it now behaves as a disjunction; but I can imagine a conjunction might be preferable from a semantic standpoint.

Whoops, you're right, I didn't ever move #12584 (comment) into the spec itself.

on command line or name, since there will typically be only one match. Only the source matching seems to actually be useful. So we might want to consider supporting regexes straightaway.

That's a great point. I was probably the biggest proponent of regexes for matching on all my "commandline": "cmd /k #work ...." profiles. We've probably got a monthish before we ship 1.17 so we can noodle on that and ship it in a followup if we want. FWIW, I think the source matching is probably what most people were looking for, or at least, will be the most immediately valuable.

DHowett · 2022-12-06T19:28:12Z

FWIW on the topic of regex, we should get this one in first and then iterate 😄

ABSOLUTELY. I want to get this in this week for sure

zadjii-msft

I really don't want to block over this - I might just push the fix directly to your branch if that's cool, and Dustin signs off soon enough. I want to get these 1.17 features all cleared out of the queue asap.

src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/MatchProfilesEntry.cpp

+{
+    auto isMatching = false;
+
+    if (!_Name.empty())


So this is now a union of all the properties, not the intersection. I feel like we should probably make it the conjunction. If it's a disjunction, there's no way to filter on multiple properties at once. If it's an intersection instead, then you can still get a union by just adding one entry per property

Since it's now a separate function, I'll write a quick fix for it tonight.

Luckily for you, European tonight is already now ;) It should now have conjunction semantics.

I kinda wonder if we want the opposite behavior! Matching with no conditions means everything passes... that would let us simplify the logic as in my farther-down comment

@zadjii-msft Does that make sense to you, or did I countermand you?

I'm not sure, to me it wouldn't feel intuitive that matchProfiles (which I would interpret as a positive match) without criteria would match everything, I would find it intuitive to match nothing. (which is harder to implement indeed)

Huh. I've been thinking about it all night, and honestly both seem alright, so I think we should just pick one and go with it.

Having no conditions match everything kinda makes sense - you start with everything, and each property filters that list down more.

Having it match nothing also makes sense - there's no properties, so that doesn't really make sense as an entry, and then it just gets ignored.

(also, I've got the plague now too so I might need @DHowett to finish driving this one down)

If we do decide for default everything, then naming it filterProfiles makes more sense. So then, matchProfiles to me is default nothing.

DHowett · 2022-12-07T00:32:22Z

src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/MatchProfilesEntry.cpp

    if (!_Commandline.empty())
    {
-        isMatching = isMatching || _Commandline == profile.Commandline();
+        isMatching = { isMatching.value_or(true) && _Commandline == profile.Commandline() };
    }


This could be collapsed to...

if (_Commandline && _Commandline != profile.Commandline()) return false; // etc... return true;

Only if we want the no-filter case to return all profiles; otherwise this would not work properly.

Okay, I find that I am only really reacting to the optional<bool>. Feel free to dismiss me out-of-hand.

This is an even sillier (but I don't know, more straightforward?) way to handle it.

int conditions = 0, matched = 0; conditions += _Commandline.has_value(); matched += _Commandline == profile.Commandline(); // nullopt == anything is FALSE // ... return conditions == matched;

0 conditions, 0 matches (thanks to all the nullopts) => true.

do I love it? i dunno, not really any more than .value_or(true).

I do generally agree about match vs filter, and I accept that we want match! Sorry, I didn't make that clear. :D

Hmm I dislike the other setup a bit. Neither way is amazing though, so feel free to pick what you think is best.

dismissing myself on account of the plague

zadjii-msft

I'm gonna say I'm fine with this as is. matchProfiles with nothing returns nothing, that makes sense to me. Additional parameters restrict which things we match on. That makes sense to me.

I'm not locked in to that though - if @DHowett feels passionate the other way, idgaf.

[3:03 PM] Dustin Howett you can dismiss me and merge it

`_Entries` was getting default constructed to `nullptr`. We should be careful about that. Adds a test too, and fixes a regression in the local tests introduced in #13763. Closes #14557
